Very strange problem

I have a very strange problem with my current WC
I am using a 0.13µ CPU that puts out 45W at default
but when I boot the temp of the CPU is +-42°C
When I overclock to 2.4 @ 1.65V and STRESS the CPU
the temp rises to 46°C

I dont get why the temp at idle is so high...

Its not the radiator or watertemp because they are about
25°C its not the flowrate because I only get a 4°C rise when
overclocking and raising Vcore ... BUT the strangest thing
is that when I put a temp sensor to the block and
CPU I get a reading of 32°C. The waterblock is cold to the
touch.

My first thought was that the temp reading were wrong. So
I put the standard HSF on and here I get temps under 40°C
so the tempsensors are right

I am out of ideas
Some help please ...
